In a forest deep in the wood
There was a village of beautiful butterflies
But one stood out more then she should
Because of a spot some thought ugly to their eyes
It was on her left wing just at the top
An odd dull yellow that looked out of place
The others made fun of her constantly non-stop
She\'d run away crying trying to hide her face
One day she ran really quite far
And sat on a log yelling to the trees
\"Why do i have this ugly spot,why are things the way they are?\"
But the only thing to answer her cries was the blowing of the breeze
The next day she woke early and headed back to where she sat before
She liked it out here where she could cry and yell
No one to hide from out here anymore
No one to hear her as far as she could tell
She continued to do this for days on end
Avoiding everyone as much as she could
But to her surprise she\'d soon find a friend
Who saw her day after day hiding in the redwood
\"Could you please keep it down today?\"
She heard the scratchy voice in a shock
\"You can\'t keep coming here yelling and crying this way!\"
She looked around behind the log and even under a rock
\"Over here in the tree to your right\"
She turned to look who this mystery stranger could be
And there on the redwood just bearly in sight
Was a caterpillar munching on some moss on the tree
\"Who are you?\" She asked very curious
\"How long have you been on that tree there?\"
\"Day in and day out of you crying\" he sounded slightly furious
At first she didn\'t speak She wouldn\'t dare
But then the caterpillar relaxed and rolled his eyes
Went back to eating and sighed
\"You\'ve been quiet through all my cries?\"
\"Why did you just sit and hide?\"
He huffed and puffed as she asked him this and that
She found him interesting but moody at best
Eventually she gave up asking and just sat
Sat and stared at her new grumpy guest
The days that followed she still came to the same place
The caterpillar still there on his redwood
She started to like sharing this space
Even if he was grouchy, he seemed good
Then out of no where he asked her why she came
\"Why everyday do you leave the beautiful village to come here?\"
She bowed her head and showed him her wing in shame
And told him her story without shedding a tear
She found him easy to talk to
Her words flowed effortlessly out
He listened not saying a word all the way through
She finished and they sat quietly in her new hideout
They grew closer and closer with every passing day
They were friends before they even knew it
He was her distraction, her getaway
And together they were a perfect fit
Then something happened that caught her off guard
One morning she ran into a group of the butterflies
They mocked and poked fun but she didn\'t cry even though it was hard
Out of her they did not get a rise
She rushed away as soon as she could
And flew to her friend right away
But when she got there he wasn\'t on his redwood
He wasn\'t anywhere near where they normally stay
She searched all day and all night
But to no avail, she could not find him
This continued for a fortnight
Until she gave up feeling rather grim
She thought he must of had a reason to leave so sudden
She hoped he was okay wherever he was at
She wondered the village aimlessly ignoring the slurs flooding in
It didn\'t matter, he was gone, and nothing hurt more then that
The days turned into a blur and the mean words slowed
The other butterflies started to feel bad
Her heart break was not hidden it showed
They knew they were a part of why she was so broken and sad
On this day she stayed put in her house and layed on the floor
Not wanting to be bothered at all
But there came a knock on the door
So she got up and answered the call
\"Please not today, just leave me alone\" she said
She looked up at the handsome butterfly in front of her now
Then went to turn away to go to bed
But her eyes caught something that made her stop and raise her brow
She looked back at him and back at the thing
It was a spot not unlike hers right there
A green one though on the top left wing
She was in awe at what her and this stranger share
She met his stare and noticed something familiar
His eyes reminded her of someone she knows
This handsome butterfly was very peculiar
And then he spoke and she froze
\"It\'s me. I\'m sorry I was gone so long. Being in that cocoon took forever\"
He smiled and reached out pulling her into a hug so tight
\"I\'m so glad I found you it was quite the endeavor\"
And that moment felt so right
It was him he was back and a butterfly no less
And he had a spot just like her there on his wing at the top
She cried and knew she looked a mess
\"I missed you\" he said wiping away a tear before it could drop
She was so happy he was back she couldn\'t hold it in
She flung her arms around him and gave him a kiss
He kissed her back with a great big grin
And they both felt utter bliss
Now together they live in that village of beautiful butterflies
No one makes fun of her anymore not that she\'d care
She\'s nothing but beautiful in his handsome eyes
And they\'re happy together with the spots that only they share
